Description
The Reservoir Virginia Wheat Whiskey Batch 1 Year 2023 is a powerful yet smooth bottling from Reservoir Distillery, an independent craft distillery based in Richmond, Virginia (USA). This small-batch edition is part of the single-grain whiskey series, in which each type of grain is processed individually. The grain base used here consists of 100% local wheat, which gives the whiskey its characteristic mildness and creaminess.
It is matured for around a year in new, heavily burnt American white oak barrels. Despite the short maturation period, the intensive toasting of the barrels produces rich flavours and gives the whiskey a beautiful balance of softness, sweetness and woody notes. With an alcohol content of 50% by volume, it is bottled in small quantities, unfiltered and without additives – for a pure, unadulterated flavour experience.
Tasting NoteColour: Golden amber with a warm copper sheen.
Nose: Smooth, cereal and sweet with aromas of vanilla, honey, fresh pastry, buttered toast and a hint of oak spice.
Flavour: Soft and full-bodied with notes of caramel, shortbread, toffee, light spices and toasted bread.
Finish: Medium to long, pleasantly warming with sweet and spicy tones and a gentle woody aftertaste.
The Reservoir Wheat Whiskey 2023 is ideal for pure enjoyment, preferably with a few drops of water to develop the full spectrum of flavours at 50% vol. Thanks to its balanced structure, it is also ideal for high-quality cocktails such as a Boulevardier, Whiskey Sour or a Wheat Old Fashioned. Perfect for connoisseurs who are enthusiastic about craft whiskeys full of character with regionality, craftsmanship and profile. An individual small-batch whiskey with a soft soul and powerful presence.
